refurbished processors at newegg..... I ntoiced newegg has refurbished products. I see that the prices can be quite a bit cheaper on some stuff. Like hypothetically if I could get a athlon 64 3400 refurb over a athlon 64 3000 new would it be worth the extra dollars? The refurb, I could afford but not the new 3400. I guess the question Im asking is will the refurb perform as well as a new one? And will it be reliable? Thanks... |
Excellent question raised!!!!! Here is the cheap guy's analysis. 1) There is no such a thing as refurbished processors .... they can't and won't repair it. 2) Short of any better term .... refurbished that is.;) They are return goods with which ... 1) Customer made a mistake buying the wrong processor. 2) They may not be good overclockers. Okay, having said that I purchased many "refurbished" CPUs from newegg. What I have noticed is ..... they are not the best OCers. If you don't OC alot .... the price is right.;) |
Cool, but one thing, will they run the stock speed just as fast as a new one? Is their performance lowered in that area? And by not being good overclockers do you mean the paticular chip just came from a bad batch? Thanks |
they are just as quick :) |
They certainly run at stock speed. Here are some examples I recollected. All refurbished. P4 2.6C purchased a year ago $125 OC'ed to 255 FSB P4 2.4C purchased 14 months ago $119 OC'ed to 255FSB (got rid of it two months later) P42.8C purchased last Dec. $140 OC'ed to 245FSB XP1700+ $40 OC'ed to 10.5x200 2100 Mhz Some good and some not so good.;) Now, here is another story ..... motherboard. Lucky for me .... never a bad one.;) |
Got a real dumb question........ Do any of you (who have shopped at newegg for a while) know if they generaly have a deal for free or discounted shipping come time for christmas? Told you it was a dumb question lol...Thanks |
So, If i got one and it was a pos and died right away would they take it back? I just want to make sure Id be getting a reliable product... |
Question never dumb ........ It would be nice if stay with the same thread you started.:) http://www.madshrimps.be/forums/show...threadid=10678 |
Sorry about that....But do you know the answer LOL.... |
it depends on the product, check on warranty when buying refurbs, would say like Lazyman, that most of them will be returned functioning products , because they did not meet OC requirements of theoriginal buyer. in short I would say that that system has to be introduced in Belgium also:) |
